Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

ADAM17 and its proteolytic targets in disease pathogenesis
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.ADAM17 as a multifunctional sheddase with contrasting roles across inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases. Through regulated activation by iRhom, iTAP/FRMD8, and tetraspanins, ADAM17 cleaves diverse membrane ligands and receptors, thereby promoting inflammation, fibrosis, obesity, insulin resistance, and tumor progression ...

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 10, October 2026.We used CellChat to infer altered cell–cell communication in Alzheimer's disease Microglia signal to each other via SPP1 in Alzheimer's disease. SPP1‐expressing microglia are present around amyloid‐β plaques. ABSTRACT Microglia play a key role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and their increased heterogeneity likely affects disease ...

Structural basis of semaphorin–plexin signalling [PDF]
Nature, 2010 Cell-cell signalling of semaphorin ligands through interaction with plexin receptors is important for the homeostasis and morphogenesis of many tissues and is widely studied for its role in neural connectivity, cancer, cell migration and immune responses. SEMA4D and Sema6A exemplify two diverse vertebrate, membrane-spanning semaphorin classes (4 and 6)

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.Stress‐induced switch. Under stress conditions, small extracellular vesicle release shifts from the constitutive ‘torn bag mechanism’ to exocytosis of multivesicular endosomes. https://BioRender.com/xn1pa1e. ABSTRACT The biogenesis of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) is only partially understood.

Different Requirement for Rnd GTPases of R-Ras GAP Activity of Plexin-C1 and Plexin-D1 [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009 Plexins, comprising Plexin-A, -B, -C, and -D subfamilies, are receptors for semaphorins governing cell adhesion, migration, and axon guidance. Among plexin subfamilies, Plexin-A1 and Plexin-B1 have been shown to function as an R-Ras GAP, inducing repulsive responses, and the expression of R-Ras GAP activity requires the binding of Rnd1, a member of Rnd

Effect of cancer-associated mutations in the PlexinB1 gene
Molecular Cancer, 2012 Background Semaphorins act as chemotactic cues for cell movement via their transmembrane receptors, plexins. Somatic missense mutations in the plexinB1 gene coupled with overexpression of the protein frequently occur in prostate tumours, indicating a ...

Glial receptor PLXNB2 regulates schizophrenia-related stress perception via the amygdala
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Stress is a trigger for the development of psychiatric disorders. However, how stress trait differs in schizophrenia patients is still unclear. Stress also induces and exacerbates immune activation in psychiatric disorders. Plexins (Plxn) and its ligands

BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 4, July/August 2026.This study identifies SEMA5B as a tumor suppressor in prostate cancer that suppresses the malignant phenotype, affects mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, and is associated with the immune‐inflammatory tumor microenvironment, highlighting its potential as a biomarker and target for immunotherapy. ABSTRACT SEMA5B
